The host devices without a parent were "forcefully adopted" by platform bus. This patch removes this assignment. In effect the dev_dev may be NULL now, which means ISA. Cc: James E.J. Bottomley <JBottomley@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: linux-scsi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Pawel Moll <pawel.moll@xxxxxxx> --- This patch is a part of effort to remove references to platform_bus and make it static. James, could you please have a look and advice if the change is correct? Would you happen to know the "real reasons" behind using the root platform_bus device a parent? drivers/scsi/hosts.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/scsi/hosts.c b/drivers/scsi/hosts.c index 3cbb57a..0c7389f 100644 --- a/drivers/scsi/hosts.c +++ b/drivers/scsi/hosts.c @@ -218,7 +218,7 @@ int scsi_add_host_with_dma(struct Scsi_Host *shost, struct device *dev, goto fail; if (!shost->shost_gendev.parent) - shost->shost_gendev.parent = dev ? dev : &platform_bus; + shost->shost_gendev.parent = dev; if (!dma_dev) dma_dev = shost->shost_gendev.parent; -- 1.9.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
